A constructive plate boundary means that the two tectonic plates are moving apart and are therefore constructing new 'land'. The magma rises up in the gap between these two plates which creates this new land. This is why there are volcanoes that seem to just 'appear' in the middle of the ocean.
These plates are not as dangerous as destructive ones as the plates never meet and subsequently never cause a build up of friction pressure. An example of this type of plate boundary is the Mid-Atlantic Ridge between Europe / Africa and The Americas. The volcanic Azores islands are good examples of this 'new land' that forms when the magma rises up.
A destructive plate boundary is the opposite of this. The two plates are moving towards each other, one subsiding beneath the other, however the plates could also be moving side by side. Whichever type of destructive plate it is, it is more dangerous to live near this type of boundary.
As the two plates move past each other, pressure builds up due to the friction between them. This pressure sometime or other has to be released in the form of an earthquake, a severe one if the pressure is sufficient. This type of plate boundary can cause tsunamis if it in located beneath the ocean. An example of this type of boundary is the subduction of the Nazca plate underneath the South American plate. This type of boundary also forms mountain ranges.
What else can I help you with?
Are sand dunes a destructive or constructive force?
that's a good question but the anser is definatly in the question ,in my opinion their both constructive yes as they b uild up over time and destructive definatly to little seaside towns as i live beside one
Why don't people live near volcanoes?
People don't typically live near volcanoes because they can be unpredictable and dangerous, posing risks such as lava flows, ash clouds, and toxic gas emissions. Volcanic eruptions can also lead to destruction of homes, infrastructure, and farmland, creating a hazardous living environment.
Where do foxglove live?
Foxgloves can be found where soil is particularly acidic. This may be the woods, moorlands, sea-cliffs, hedge banks, woodland clearings, and heath margins. They are commonly found where the vegetation was burned.
What happens when the earth is destroyed?
If Earth were destroyed, all life on it would perish. The impact on other celestial bodies would depend on the method of destruction, but in general, the destruction of Earth would have significant consequences for the entire solar system.
How are constructive and destructive forces alike?
(IF you mean constructive and destructive plates boudaries...)Constructive- Plates moving apart.Sometimes the earths plates move apart from one another. This is because of the convection currents that force them to move in opposite directionsMagma (from mantle, the thing underneath the earths crust) can escape. This can cause volcanoes. This magma cools and constructs new land like islands we can live on.Destructive-PLates moving together.When plates move together they sometimes don't agree.This happens when an oceanic plate meets a continental plate. The oceanic plate is lighter than the continental plate so has to go under the continental plate. As it goes under it gets destroyed because it is so hot! and because constructive is a volcano making land and destructive destroying the land
Why do people live on active continental margins?
The land on the margins is often agriculturally enriched by the addition of volcanic ash. Locations in coastal areas are valuable for trade. Which explains why people are willing to live and build cities in areas that are very likely to suffer damage or destruction in the foreseeable future.
Why do people live in hazardous areas?
they are wierdos who like the excitment

Why do people live in hazardous zones?
they live there because they have a life, and they know there area well enough to get help. they live there because they have a life there or they live i poverty and they are poor.
Why do people choose to live on plate margins?
People choose to live on plate margins for reasons such as access to natural resources, proximity to jobs or economic opportunities, or cultural attachment to the area. However, they also face hazards like earthquakes, volcanic eruptions, and tsunamis due to tectonic activity.
What is constructive eviction?
The constructive eviction clause of most state laws dictate that a tenant can move out and terminate his tendency if the dwelling is too uninhabitable to continue to live in. This allows the tenant to break the lease without forfeiting his security deposit.
How may a volcano be hazardous for plants and animals that live by?
It could erupt and kill the animals
What are 2 consequences if the forest and trees were destroyed?
Floods and the destruction of habitats that animals live in.
What physical factors make Indonesia a hazardous place to live?
they are polluting the place and so that get to the volcanoes which causes them to erupt faster
Could the destruction of forests in another part of the world affect the environment where you live?
Not only could it , it DOES.
What is the difference between destruction and salvage certificate?
Destruction =You can no longer drive the vehicle on the road and it can't be rebuild. Salvage =You can rebuild the car and is legal to drive on the road depending on the state you live in.
